Happiness Is

For the wings, I used a trio of butterflies from Verve's Blue Skies stamp set. I stamped them on a scrap of watercolor paper, heat embossed them in black, then used distress markers and an aquabrush to color them. After cutting each butterfly out, I arranged them on the left side of a pale yellow cardstock panel. The "happiness is being with you" sentiment from the Treasured Words set was stamped on the opposite side of the panel in orange pigment ink.

For the petals, I used a piece of floral patterned paper. It's edged with an orange die cut strip and wrapped with a piece of celery twill. I adhered th panel to a melon card base, then added the pale yellow panel on top on an angle, tucking the bottom edge underneath the twill band.
